I absolutely love when I get to work with repeat clients! It was such a pleasure to capture this beautiful senior’s session at Bowie Nature Preserve, especially since I had photographed her older brother’s senior portraits a few years ago. One of the best surprises was seeing their family dog, Ryder, again—just like during her brother’s session! Ryder is so photogenic and fun to photograph. Also, I love that he came with wardrobe changes. I especially love his University of Alabama collar.
This was my first time shooting at Bowie Park during golden hour. I’ve done sessions here before but usually during the day for families with little ones who prefer avoiding evening crankiness. Bowie Park is always a great location thanks to the ample shade that makes shooting in daytime lighting easier, but I was excited to see just how magical it could be at sunset. The park did not disappoint! The soft glow through the trees and the warm, subtle hues of fall just starting to appear were simply breathtaking.
This senior did a fantastic job and I so enjoyed getting to know her. I especially loved the colorful jacket she wore for the last part of the shoot—it was a perfect complement to the fall tones beginning to peek through the trees. The jacket had all my favorite shades for autumn and really tied everything together beautifully.
I’m thrilled with how these photos turned out and can’t wait to share more from this lovely evening in Bowie. Senior sessions like this—where everything comes together so effortlessly—remind me why I love what I do.
I’ve added a few extra dates to my fall calendar for anyone still hoping to get a session in this gorgeous autumn light. Don’t miss out! Plus, for those looking to plan ahead, I’m offering a special $50 off for sessions in January and February with the code WINTER50.
